portable applications

When I use someone else's computer - it annoys me that they do not all have my favourite apps installed on them.

Well there's a great way of taking them all with me.

It is called PortableApps and it is basically a suite of free programs which, instead of installing to your computer's hard drive, you install to a portable drive - maybe a USB key ring or other portable storage device.

Then whenever you plug your portable drive into a computer you can run your apps. You can carry your favorite computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and more with you.

    The solution to Love

    It would behoove dating websites to employ this mathematical approach as most of them do not assume "=?" in the final quotient (where they instead apply "=$" to give credibility)
